How it works
Redact a video in three steps
Draw timed blur boxes
Drag a box over anything sensitive, move and resize it, then set the exact seconds it appears and disappears — precise timing, no keyframes.
Trim, speed up & export
Optionally trim the clip and speed it up (whole video or just certain parts), then render — free with a watermark, or clean with a one-time payment.
Use cases

Blur video online without uploading anything
Blur The Video is a browser-based video blur tool that lets you hide sensitive information in a video clip in seconds. Whether you need to blur a face for privacy, cover a computer screen in a tutorial, or redact a license plate in dashcam footage, you can do it directly in this page — no software to install and no files to upload to a server.
Because all processing happens locally with the browser's canvas and recording APIs, your video stays on your own device the entire time. That makes Blur The Video a good fit for confidential recordings, internal demos, legal and HR material, and anything else you'd rather not hand to a third-party cloud service. Choose a soft gaussian blur or a stronger pixelated mosaic, adjust the strength to taste, and control exactly which seconds of the clip each blur covers.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Blur The Video processes everything in your browser using the canvas and MediaRecorder APIs. Your footage never leaves your device, which makes it suitable for sensitive and private material.
What's the difference between blur and pixelate?
Blur softens the area with a gaussian blur, while pixelate replaces it with a coarse mosaic of blocks. Pixelate is often preferred for redaction because it's clearly intentional and harder to reverse. You can choose per box and tune the strength.
Can I blur something for only part of the video?
Yes. Every blur box has its own start and end time, so a face can be covered for a few seconds and then revealed, or a screen can stay blurred for the whole clip. Use 'Start here' and 'End here' to set timings from the playhead.
Can I speed up the video?
Yes. You can set a playback speed for the whole video (0.5×–3×) that's applied to the export, not just the preview. You can also add speed changes at specific timestamps — for example, keep the intro at normal speed and speed up a long middle section — and the exported video reflects all of it.
What file format do I get?
You can export WebM in any modern browser, and MP4 as well when your browser supports it (recent Safari and Chrome). Pick the format from the dropdown before exporting. WebM plays in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and VLC; MP4 plays virtually everywhere.
Is it free?
You can export for free with a small Blur The Video watermark. To remove it, pay $0.99 for the current video, or get lifetime access for $19.99 — unlimited watermark-free exports on every video, forever. No subscription.
